Couldn’t resist bringing out another image from my trip to the Harris Street Cemetery which I found in peak bloom at the end of April. On this particular evening, I had gone to the cemetery in hopes of getting a shot of the almost full pink moon rising against the foreground of cherry blossoms.
Before the moon could rise, I had to wait for the sun to set and, as it did, it lit up the cherry blossoms and surroundings in a great evening light. I took a few shots around the cemetery but this one was a favorite. I decided to compose the image with the ancient gravestones in the foreground and the cherry blossom tree taking up much of the middle ground. You can make out the top of the Grace Community Church near the top of the image and there was a nice branch overhead that served to frame up the image quite nicely.
I tried to bring out the details in the gravestones and their inscriptions in my processing of the image while retaining the great glow on the cherry blossoms and church steeple beyond.
